Dear Website!

Dear Website,

Sorry for neglecting you a bit this last month. I’ve been wandering a bit and visiting my home and building a pond (kind of) and going on a hike (once) and not using the computer often. But I’m back. I swear!!

Firstly, I would like to tell you a bit about this last weekend. Saturday specifically when I played at the magical Reverbfest put on by the Seattle Weekly. Lots of venues in Ballard had shows going on all day and in to the night. The Conor Byrne pub where I played was packed out (so much so they had to not let people in at the door! It seemed like that everywhere in Ballard that night! Magic!) and the crowd was very kind and clappy. The show was great and it was so amazing to be surrounded by friends and fans and new faces and strangers and to be joined on stage by my peepees Dane Ueland and Kim Wescott.

It was so special to be a part of Reverbfest which is a local Seattle extrvaganza. For the nice people at Seattle Weekly to ask me to play meant a lot being a Spokane musician/Skagit Valley native. So wonderful. And such good energy all throughout the evening. The Maldives at the Tractor finished up the evening and rocked the shit out of the Tractor Tavern.

I would especially like to thank Dane and Kim and my dear friends Michelle and Chrisy (who own Empyrean!) and Aja (who owns my heart!), Seattle Weekly, Sound on the Sound, Three Imaginary Girls, all of Ballard, the Maldives, Kory Kruckenberg and the wonderful people of Seattle who clap and laugh and always make my time there so wonderful.

Secondly, I’m heading out on a little journey down to LA to work more with Dave Sitek on my new album project. Eeee! I’ve decided to drive and play in Centralia, Portland and LA on the way. Here are the show deets-

Thursday-October 8th- Centralia, WA 7pm  at Santa Lucia Coffee with Dane Ueland and Lower Lights Burning

Saturday-October 10th- Portland, OR 9 pm at Backspace with Annie Bethancort and Ryanhood

Tuesday-October 20th- Los Angeles, CA 7 pm at Hotel Cafe

So if you live in one of those nice places or have friends there please tell them, spread the word, invite them to my show! I would greatly appreciate it.

Lastly, I hope to update a bit more often and use more links and photos as promised in earlier blogs.

Oh but here is a link to a video from this year’s Pig Out in the Park. Not quite sure about playing with sunglasses. It seems too mysterious. The photo is courtesy of Som Jordan (www.thesomshow.com) Enjoy!
